The work of Greta Olivas is full of color, which is usually the first thing people are drawn to. As the paintings are examined more closely their energy draws the viewer in. She describes her work as energy, or emotions that come through and end up on the canvas. They may seem like celestial bodies, but to her, they are a bigger understanding of the universe and our place within it.
She has always been drawn to abstract work and the power it has. When someone states they ‘felt’ the painting, or it provokes emotion in someone, she knows she was successful in transmitting the energy through the painting.
Greta has been an artist since she was a child. She has studied in several workshops, but is mostly self-taught.
She was born in New York City, grew up in Argentina, resided the majority of her life in Austin, Texas and in 2024 moved to Florence Oregon.
